"Conservative commentator Mona Charen noted that Ukraine president Volodomyr Zelensky this week warned the U.S. that Ukraine will lose the war against Russia’s aggression if it does not get U.S. aid. "
“Putin seems to have pulled off the most successful foreign influence operation in American history,” Charen wrote. “If Trump were being blackmailed by Putin it’s hard to imagine how he would behave any differently. And though it started with Trump, it has not ended there. Putin now wields more power over the [Republicans] than anyone other than Trump…. [T]hey mouth Russian disinformation without shame. Putin,” she said, “must be pinching himself.”
Харків. Вогнеборець плаче на місці удару, де так звана росія вбила його батька — 52-річного рятувальника.
Загиблий Владислав Логінов присвятив своє життя роботі в пожежній службі. Його син, Володимир, також за прикладом батька став вогнеборцем і працював начальником караулу у сусідній пожежній частині.
Цієї ночі вони обидва рятували людей на місцях російських ударів.

Iryna Maksimovich from Vitebsk was very drunk and allowed herself to say disgusting insults not only to her Ukrainian competitor but also to our country as a whole.
"Are you at war? Or are you shaking your boobs at a beauty pageant? Here you are, Ukraine, saying 'Belarus is sh*t' and 'Russia is sh*t'. Ukraine, why did you come out to shake your naked boobs? Why the f*ck did you come to a beauty pageant?" the Belarusian representative attacked Milena in drunken agony.
Another interesting point is the price of victory. The price in the literal sense of the word. Melnychuk shared: "The Belarusian woman bought the third place for €5000+ and told everyone about it herself. The Russian Ministry of Culture bought the victory for the participant for €20,000+, and during the whole competition, she boasted about the help from the president. She is 38 years old (information from managers from her country, which reached me through the girls)."
